My mum was red and white and dad FC and I was taken to my first match at Rovers in 1946 and shortly afterwards to the Boulevard. I lived until I left Hull in 1960 near Marfleet station not too far away from where my mum was brought up in nearby dockland with her 12 siblings. Her eldest sister came to Australia to marry an Aussie in 1919 followed by her next eldest married sister. As a young kid I was sent stuff from Aus and became fascinated with the place and of things Australian. My decision to opt for supporting the Black and Whites came with the arrival of the 3 Australian players Watt, Jackson and Ryan to the Boulevard in 1947. I had a brief go at playing rugby league (for Fenners) in my teens but decided watching Hull was better ( and physically less damaging!!).

i got took one sunday afternoon in 1976 was only 6 weeks old

You aint grown up much since then Tucker. Aged but nearly same size. lol

late 60s, keegan was full back in those days,sully on the wing,d gemmill, john maloney centres, davidson and hancock halfbacks, m harrison a mcglone boxall t kerchin,brown,e broom,where sum of the forwards i remember, i also remember h firth a winger signed from local rugy union,hes still the fastest thing ive seen on a rugby pitch,just a pity he couldnt play rugby very good lol,

Mate, that's the very side I remember when I first went! Howard Firth's flowing golden locks and all that. Keegan was a monster at full back and so were the pack you mentioned. Brings a tear to me eye!

47. My first game was in 1978 against the touring Australian side. Bobby Fulton was playing for them & they won 34 -4 I think it was. We had a welsh trialist full back playing, "supertaff" Paul Prendiville, who, if memory serves me correctly, kicked our two penalties. Happy days
